You worry it may be TMI, but honestly I really appreciated the candor -- game development doesn't happen in a vacuum, and I wish more people writing about it would acknowledge that. It's a good list of things to keep in mind, as well, when doing independent work.
Best of luck, and looking forward to hearing more about the kickstarter project!

A summary of the past year or so: At Torpex, we were chasing a project and funding for a pretty cool game of Richard Garfield's that ended up not happening in the end. After being led on by a publisher for months they changed their minds, claimed that they thought our proposed budget was for a d...

Strictly speaking, Baha'is do have something before March (but only barely): Ayyam-i-ha, which is generally equated as the "Baha'i Christmas". That's the last 4 days of February (5 on leap years).
Regardless, thanks for the well wishes, thanks for the blog, happy birthday, and happy new year!

It’s time to wish a Happy Winter Festival to everyone, but sadly this time the Islamic calendar (which pivots on the lunar cycle) has nothing on offer. The Day of Ashura was back on December 5th, and Milad Un Nabi isn’t until February 4th – so sorry Muslims, no special shout for you this year....

Strictly speaking, Meego isn't a company, it's an operating system that grew out of Moblin and Maemo, and is stewarded by The Linux Foundation.

A new online security risk, a possible software buy for Samsung, and a new online game targets those who've drunk their fill of the Tea Party. And now, the news! Online Security Fake Certificates the Latest Risk: Several instances have been reported of bogus versions of the digital certificates ...

On Monday I am defending my dissertation via video conference to New Zealand, a semi-public review of a five year effort. I even got written up in a tome on Internet ethics, after being interviewed on my made up on the fly research methods. Awesome. But I am a little cross about something. Th...

I think folks are kind of missing the point when they're describing the origins and uses of NSFW, and the state of the American workplace.
We're quite well aware of the current state of things, the point is that it's time to CHANGE that, and and that change occurs (like any other major shift) through individual action.

So what do you do about it— if you think "Not Safe For Work" censorship has gone too far? NSFW is unmandated, unlegislated censorship — there's no ballot to punch, no senator to harangue. The great majority of NSFW warnings are the result of unconscious class bias, with the conceit of America...
